EtraCheck

I have been updating this and for the last 4 times and now it say to purchase activation code.See screenshot. Does anyone know a way around it cause I cannot afford to pay for it I am out of work. And does anyone know of another one that is free to use for reports like EtrCheck? If so please let me know what it is.

I loved this and know h=they want money I know sooner or later it would happen.


Thank you all for your help into this.

The newest version does bring in changes and improvements.

your need to run this type of product may be routinely less.


EtreCheck 4 is a major new update for EtreCheck:

I'd be skeptical of downloading some files from a source that

may be subject to tampering; those can be sources of adware.


Good luck & happy trails! 🙂

But you don't know my situation either. I am looking at what I can do for people. At one point, I was simultaneously developing a free version of EtreCheck 3.5, with the same 4.0 internals, but without the fancy new interface. But that was just too much work. I had to focus and get at least one product done. So yeah, I focused on the paid product.


I may still finish that 3.5 version. It is not a priority right now. I have a couple of high-priority bugs to fix. I need to explain a few more things in the FAQ. And then maybe I will have a chance to look at it.


I have already changed the licensing to give people 3 activations instead of 1. That was easy. I'm definitely flexible and I will do what I can to keep everyone, including myself, as happy as possible. I just need some time to fix these bugs, see how things are working, and get caught up.
